| Neckface makes New Image Art his latest victim with a new solo show entitled "The Night after Halloween" featuring an installation of life-sized sculptures and watercolors. The ghoulish themes and iconography Neckface is known for, such as witches, death metal, blood, dead babies, bats, monsters, will be abundant in this multimedia exhibition. "The Night after Halloween" differs from Neckface´s past shows in that it relies heavily on three-dimensional work rather than solely on his paintings. Guests can interact with Neckface´s characters, presented as life-sized beings through the use of paper-mache and sculptural constructions, in a haunted house installation. A film created by Ty Evans will be shown as well; it features Neckface caught in the act of painting and a brief look at the street art of New York City in 2006. Enlarged pages of Weirdo Dave´s zine "Fuck This Life" are also used by Neckface in a collaborative installation. |
| First gaining notoriety for the quick wit and gallows humor his graffiti left on cities around the world, Neckface is now also known as much for his gallery shows as he is for his reclusive persona. His first solo show, "Witch Hunt," was held at New Image Art in 2004, and a book of his work entitled "Satan's Bride!!" has since been published. Neckface's drawing style and humorous musings are now easily recognizable and familiar elements of the urban landscape. Carlo McCormick, art critic and curator, calls Neckface "The most prolific and idiosyncratic street artist working today." |
| Neckface has previously had solo shows at dpmhi (London), Monster Childeren, (Sydney), and was included in "The Bay Area Now" show at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco). He has also shown at The Luggage Store Gallery (San Francisco) with The Date Farmers. |
